Do you like Zines? Do you wish you could get your hands on some out of print zines? Do you have zine pdfs or scans just lying around? Introducing my ZINE SPREADSHEET

While currently mostly Danganronpa heavy (it's what i have the most zines from) its to be an archive of all the zines I have saved and Zines I know about but have zero copies of! It will contain links to a google drive containing each zine, while also a link to any website still reliably selling the zine by the organizer, aka gumroad, it's basically all gumroad in those cases

If you have a zine pdf or scan or anything saved and you don't see it on the list? Get in contact so I can get a copy to archive and update the spreadsheet! Even if the fandom is not currently listed on the bottom tab, I am more then happy to add it!

There's also zines that are available for purchase that I haven't bought due to budgetary reasons listed as well, in case you have the spare change I currently don't have for it!

Check it out!!

Alright so here's the thing. I don't own a lot in the way of super valuable or rare merchandise, but what I do have is a very particular doujinshi crossover of a very particular pair of shows.

Problem 1: I have *never* seen this doujin before or since, I could not even tell you who created it.

Problem 2: *Because* of its rarity, I'm constantly torn between preserving it as-is, or dissecting it and scanning it for the greater YST and PGSM communities to enjoy a piece of shared history.

Help me out folks.

Call it being up late, but I had the realization that if Tumblr ever goes down (or goes through another purge like in 2018) then we'll potentially lose the YGO shiplists, which are all in the form of Tumblr blogs.

The end result is that I now have copies of all shiplists from DM through ARC V backed up as text documents. VRAINS, Sevens, and Go Rush will follow later hopefully.

I’m begging the Glitch Techs fandom to improve its wiki.

Save all those animatics and crew room photographs and upload them there! Take all the official renders and model sheets already posted to the wiki (potentially by an actual crew member??) and move them to their appropriate galleries! Write transcripts, expand pages with information! Web Archive and screenshot tweets and Discord messages’

If Twitter disappears and the show never continues, a resource for all that information for current and future fans to look back at is invaluable.

scream. the first person to ship hilson did so before the pilot episode even aired on tv (src)

[sleep-deprived-person]

So apparently KOSA (2024 edition) is getting either thrown out until next year or put into effect in six days. That was a guesstimate based on a different person saying that's when Congress is back in session and may be false.

Update that's going in the main post at the top: it has enough support to pass Congress.

It failed the last two times because people were voting against it.

This time, KOSA has traction among the pro-LGBTQ parties. Because nobody is fucking calling their bullshit and screaming from the rooftops that calling it the "Kids Online Safety Act" is misleading.

What will it passing do?

Nothing much, only prevent any education on LGBTQIA+ (it's that stupid fucking argument about us grooming kids again), shut down nearly every fandom space on the internet, and make it required for most big tech companies to have your ID.

Want to have resources for kids to discover their identity readily available? Yes? Then fucking speak up against this stupid fucking bill.

Fandom spaces like Tumblr, Twitter (? I thought the MAGA assholes liked Musk?), Tiktok, Archive Of Our Own, and any other website that hosts fanfic or fanart? Either shut down permanently, forced to uproot to a different country and down for a while (best case scenario, and they likely won't be able to send any data, and therefore fanfics, to the US), or gutted so that you only get to put G rated cishet ships on there, if any shipping at all. How to avoid that? I've already said it: Call your fucking representatives.

Want to avoid the fucking dystopic task of being legally obligated to give big tech your government issue ID? Again, cause an uproar. Call your goddamned representatives.

If they can pass this, the ripple effects could be catastrophic.

So, for fuck's sake, any Americans that can impact this stupid fucking bill and see this? Do everything in your power to shut it down because you have until February twenty sixth (26th) to send this bill back to where it belongs.

And if you can't do that? Reblog, copy my tags, and boost the signal.

Sorry not sorry for ranting, making you scroll through that, and swearing a probably excessive amount, but KOSA is a bill with a GLOBAL IMPACT being passed by ONE COUNTRY because some old people are scared of two guys with who were told they were girls kissing within five hundred miles of a child. Fuck this shit, I shouldn't have to worry about bad bills in America but I fucking do because I use the internet and would like to avoid mass censorship. Fuck this, fuck conservatives, and fuck the fact that some boomers make your country's policies.

Now, if you won't mind me, I'm going to be up until three in the morning downloading fanfiction or copying and pasting them into a a text file if I can't so I can read them by the end of the week.

[quantum-leap-writing-prompts]

I haven't had a chance to properly start reading this yet, but I just discovered the Quantum Leap Virtual Seasons fanfiction project! Very excited, especially because it looks like a lot of it has already been put into the Archive's WayBack Machine for preservation!

[lil-lemon-snails]

You find these two in a box in your attic, wyd?

I had a lot of fun scribbling on these guys!! there's a whole lot of texture going on hehe >:3c As always, close ups under cut!

[bisexualbaker]

Discord is also cracking down on image sharing, particularly hotlinking [definition], so watch out for that; just last night I came across some author's notes featuring an image that was hotlinked from Discord servers and therefore not loading.

Unfortunately, sometimes your best bet really is to get a third party image hosting service and to copy/paste text prompts in the notes.

I'm always seeing AO3 works with notes saying "Based on this fanfic prompt: [dead tumblr link]" or "Inspired by this fanart: [dead tumblr link]" or "[person] made this amazing fan edit of my story! Check it out:[dead tumblr link]."

Source posts disappear all the time on tumblr.

But reblogs don't!

So I am begging tumblr/AO3 users:

If you want to link a tumblr post in one of your AO3 works, please first reblog the post to your own tumblr blog, and then link your reblog, instead of linking the source post directly. That way your AO3 the link will keep working, even if the OP deletes.

@rorydrawsandwrites's puppeteer au but the only difference is that jax gives consent

My contribution to this wonderful au has been long overdue:')

Rambling in tags ehe (cw: ribbun:p)

Well maybe it's not the only difference

darlin driving the mates separately and guarding the hallway so that the couples won't see each other before the ceremony is still so funny . out of all people it's darlin who wanted to follow this tradition, or at least is the most serious about it

[corviiids]

i found a bad post i made months ago in the privacy of my own home and now i need to air it out in public because it's getting mildewy and moths are eating it

[skumhuu]

Thank you so much for taking the time to preserve not only my but other people’s art and writing in our little niche corner 💚 I know how much work goes into this sort of thing and I want you to know how much I appreciate you :D

It anyone wants to check out their museum/archive and support them for taking the time to organize this please do! You never know when fandom history gets lost over the years

Skumhuu Gallery

Recently, we finished a link chain of Skumhuu’s Masterlist.

_1 link includes eventual smut

AU’s:

Leviathantale

Megalodonetale

Mer

Eclipsetale: Comic / Gallery

Spiritual

.

By far our favorite is their Throne comic. Though, be warned, it’s outside their usual suggestive material with parts 11 onward on twitter being explicit.

Nightmare x Dream

Both Nightmare and Killer unsympathetic.

KOSA SENATE VOTE UPDATE

The official senate vote is set to take place July 30th and then the senate goes on august break. If we can fight this bill and make sure it doesn't pass again, we'll have around a month before we have to fight it again!

So CALL AND EMAIL YOUR SENATORS!

This link below has a call and email masterpost with contact info for a few senators and 2 scripts (1 for democrat and 1 for republican) that works for calls, emails, and even fax! (yeah you can still fax your congress ppl. do with that info what you will) call and email and fax every day you can!

also, for my peeps that are still Minors, you can do all this too! you don't have to be an adult to contact your reps & senators! They don't even ask for your age! you especially need to be helping since this bill is trying to use you as a scapegoat and directly targets you. Don't let them unleash textbook fascism upon the internet in your name!

Spread the word! at the time I'm making this post (July 28th, 2024) we got a little under a day and a half to make as much noise as we can! SPREAD THIS LIKE WILDFIRE PPL

[lovedtogekiss]

quotev is an archival nightmare rn and its users are scrambling to document as much of it as they can before pretty much the entire private and social media half of the site goes down btw 💗
